A new survey from One Poll found that 70 percent of couples are currently in the middle of a “bathroom war” with their significant other.
Nearly 20 percent of the respondents admit to ending a relationship because of their ex’s bathroom habits.
For men, researchers say the biggest issue was how much hair their partner left in the shower drain without cleaning it. For women, they were turned off by the mess and smells a boyfriend left behind in the toilet.
According to a third of the survey, their partner does way too much relaxing in the bathroom and hogs the shower. Over half of the couples say they argue about each other’s bathroom habits up to three times a week.
Researchers say the biggest pet peeves couples have center around their partner’s toilet habits. Leaving the toilet paper roll empty was the biggest annoyance couples had. A partner who didn’t clean the toilet finished as the second biggest problem.
Leaving the toilet seat up and hanging toilet paper the “wrong way” also finished in the top 10 among the biggest bathroom argument starters.
It turns out men are actually spending more time in the bathroom than women. According to the poll, men average about 13 minutes in the bathroom. Women average only 11 minutes.
